West Ham - they have moved the fans closer to the pitch at the London Stadium (the Olympic stadium they got for peanuts), which is copying us, and the Czech billionaire is about to splash loads more cash on them for transfers

[Pizy 18,858]

West Ham are once again a legit team. Fair play to Moyes that they weren’t a one season fluke last year. They are very well balanced.

And Rice has been great as usual. We HAVE to be first in the queue to buy him either next summer or the year after. Cannot allow him to go to a rival. The strong Chelsea connections should give us a huge leg up on anyone else.

I dont think theyll sell to anyone -theyre in for a big team build now with the Czech billionaires cash. See themselves as top four

Oh, they for sure won’t want to. But if he really pushes to go (and they don’t finish top 4 again) I can see them selling for a ridiculous price. Probably the same sort of price Grealish went for.

Absolute shambles from Spurs. Hired a manager that they didn't want and now they're gonna fired him because they botched the managerial search in the summer and hired someone for reasons why he wasn't even high on the list in the first place.

Can't believe City went into the season with just Gabriel Jesus of typical strikers. That is like us having only Abraham for example and no Lukaku and Werner.

Think they're so financially comfortable now they'll build a team round him - unless the Geordie arabs offer 150m or something

Again, though, what if he asks to leave and hands in a transfer request? If his boyhood club comes calling where some of his best mates ll,e Mount and Chilly play his head is going to be turned. West Ham can of course say no but we’ve seen with Harry Kane what happens when you force a player to stay against his will.

Lol true but Jesus is far better...

It is crazy to see that West Spam have the same number of points as City now.... You would really say Pep has underachieved this season. apart from beating us deservedly they have only sporadically convinced. They also were completely unable to break down buses numerous times. Also lost CS vs Leicester. Hopefully his magic is slowly ceasing like it was at Barcelona

True but if spam are in the CL, top 4 with new stars and theyve offered him silly money, playing v PSG, Real Madrid etc.

What a fucking 'orrible scenario *shudders*

Moyes has been underrated as well. The Man Utd stint tarnished him unfairly

Lost CS, out of League Cup, lost to PSG...  I am sure they will not win PL or CL. 

3 PL and 0 CL in 6 seasons is not a success.

TBF, it's taken Moyes years to rediscover his mojo shown at Everton. He was terrible at Sunderland and West Ham the first time around.
